Overview

Join a bucket-list African adventure.

We will hike Table Mountain using the lessor known, more adventurous route up, away from the crowds.

Once on top, we will have a rare opportunity to walk along the Rim of Table Mountain (where tourists don't usually get to experience unless with local knowledge). After a quick picnic we then make our way to the upper Cable Station where we will take the cable car back down the mountain (if open - ticket fare not included - if the cable car is closed, we will hike down a common route)

Itinerary

Join a bucket-list African adventure. We'll be hiking to the top of Table Mountain via a lessor known and more adventurous and rugged route called India Venster. This route involves scrambling up a more off the beaten path. Once on top we make our way towards the upper Cable Car Station where we take the cable car back down (if open).

Private Option Available which includes transport and allows for route and start time flexibility in consultation and exclusive guide.

If the cable car is open, we will then make our way to the Cable Car Station and view sites before going back down with the cable car (ticket fare not included - if the cable car is closed, we will hike down a common route)

We will also access some off the beaten track viewpoints with stunning photo opportunities. There will be some steep/exposed sections along the route. I will be assisting you with scrambling up these steep parts if required.

You would need to be comfortable with heights and be relatively fit. The hike up is steep and rocky going for at least 3.5 hours.

I don't know where to start. This was not just a highlight of Cape Town but of our lives. Firstly Miles the guide was absolutely superb. Super friendly, calm, reassuring and incredibly skilled at mountaineering as well as photography. Amazing photos from him. I can't say enough positive things about him. As for the hike/climb be aware it is challenging and somewhat scary in places. You will need a good base fitness and no fears of heights or any other possible issues. That being said, it was truly unforgettable and one of the best things we've ever done. If you're not afraid to challenge yourself somewhat, then I highly recommend this. We will certainty use this company again next time we're in Cape Town for Lion's head.

The views are amazing truly spectacular. We were lucky to have the perfect day could see for miles. The cable car is great worth every cent.

I definitely recommend this hike, and make sure to do it with Shamier as your guide. The mountain is really technical-good for hike lovers. I enjoyed how Shamier ensured we used our own pace, and how interactive he was, right from the time he picked us up!

We did the adventurous hike accompanied by our guide Miles. He was quite patient and provided direction where need in a laid back way, not overbearing. The hike itself was moderately strenuous and included a number of scrambles, and would not be suitable for someone without a reasonable base amount of fitness. Better to go earlier in the morning before sunrise if at all possible. Steve
